Comes With A Warning.
I’m just going to rant for a minute.
TV, stop showing me previews for World War Z! Ugh. Because I’m always like, ‘Oh my, what is this?!” all excited and then I realize, “Oh right, it’s Hollywood crapping all over the greatest zombie book ever written!” /screams at the sky/
( Under the cut, in case you don't want my opinion to harsh your buzz. )

Oh, honey. *hugs* We can keep hoping Mom'll figure it out, right? *hugs*

RIGHT?! I wish I had a phoneline directly to Hollywood so they could have all my awesome ideas! I've been waiting for that miniseries since I first read the book, so imagine my disappointment over this stupid ass movie. (which actually looks like a fun movie but is NOT World War Z!)
I wonder if the author sold the rights, retained them, rented them, or what?
I wonder too, because if he retained the rights, he could still make the mini-series someday, right? One can only hope.
We can keep hoping Mom'll figure it out, right?
Thanks. /sigh/ I don't hold out much hope on that, for her to either get a clue about my life or to figure out how her computer works. She still uses a word processor for crying out loud!

Make it happen, Dodge! MAKE IT HAPPEN! :)
Hey, I use a word processing program to get all of my stuff done (not that there's been much lately, but still). And I hand-code my html for LJ, too. Or are you talking about some machine that only does WP and has no internet capability? I'm not sure what you mean by "uses a word processer."

Yeah, I'll get right on that! (though Max Brooks does seem like the kind of guy who would succumb under the pressure of a letter writing campaign).

And I html code all my LJ entries as well! (even with the new format, I still hand-code!) What I meant was, in fact, a machine that only has word processing capabilities. Do you remember, in the early 90s, how there were these machines that were more than typewriters but not quite computers? You type on it and it has a screen like a laptop where you can see what you are typing. And the documents can save to a floppy disc. Also, you can print (the printer is usually built into the machine) but that is all you can do with it (no ( ... )

I know exactly the kind of machine you mean. My mom and dad had one in their in-home office. (We also had a TRS-80 III in the den. You could play Lunar Lander, but that was about it. Oh, and write BASIC programs.)
